AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

Robert Morris, 64, who started Texas’s Gateway church and also once served as White House spiritual adviser during Donald Trump’s first presidency, pleaded guilty in early October in Osage county district court on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with child. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Here's a theory. LLM "ai" is revealing a variation in the human brain. I think some people process the world through people, and therefore language. To them, LLM output is the word of a person they trust, aka, the only way they have ever understood the world. The language-based magic trick works.

But others understand the world through the meaning behind the language; language is only the imperfect medium. For us, the language-based magic trick is transparent, because we can see underlying meaning is missing, or distorted, or even wrong, just through our usual method of understanding.

well how about that...a line!

A Mormon Border Patrol agent sexually abused all 6 of his children for years. He confessed as much to his bishop, who did not report it. Instead the bishop told the wife ... who was later sentenced to jail for not reporting it. The bishop? The AZ Supreme Court says he did nothing wrong.

the question isn't "do you have faith in the democrats" the question is "do you have faith in the ability of people to work collectively to impose their will on the political system?"

-The corpse in the hotel crawlspace is wearing the mayor's shirt. My guess is he either died that night with the clown-killer or has been dead for a few years and the living villagers are trying to goad him into discovering his own corpse, so maybe so he'll "go away".

The mayor, Wyck and Patricia are dead and are in some state of not knowing it ("revenants", I'm guessing, a term the show went out of its way to define). This may also be the case for a large portion of the town? The hints have been strong:

-The way people react to Wyck. Seems the vibe is the living villagers know he's around but it still unnerves them when he pops out of nowhere. This might also re-contextualize his "coward" story he tells to the mayor, as he's likely been dead the longest of these 3. (He might even know he's dead.)

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

i am very against the future microsoft bailout plan, and all ai burst-bubble-bailouts. fuckem, not hatefully, but purely on merit. we very much do not need anything those companies provide, even the "good" things. not from them we dont.

it's so weird how james cameron died at the exact stroke of midnight new year's eve 1999

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

positive message of the day: the 3rd person mode in oblivion remastered is kind of great actually. that plus the sprint plus the new combat animations make it feel pretty fresh.

i’m confident schumer is a traitor acting in bad faith precisely because any good faith read is so stupid it’s impossible to accept

Schumer told Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater: “Here’s my hope … after this election, when the Republican party expels the turd of Donald Trump, it will go back to being the old Republican party.” www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

The purchase of twitter is one of the most significant personal expenditures in history, and its evident purpose was to turn the site into a friendlier nest for anti-trans voices, antisemites, white supremacists, and out-and-out nazis and a more hostile place for progressives and liberals.
